RCCC – Romanian Crohn´s and Colitis Club

RCCC, founded in 2009, is a scientific organisation affiliated to ECCO and the Romanian Society of Gastroenterology (SRGH). RCCC currently comprises over 200 members interested in basic research, diagnosis and therapy of inflammatory bowel disease. Our main goals are the development of a national IBD registry, of locally adapted IBD guidelines and of a National IBD programme sustaining the free access to specific diagnostic modalities and therapy. Also, it is of major importance to promote and coordinate research in the field, to support training programmes for doctors and nurses and to encourage exchanges between hospitals in the country and abroad in order to improve the management of IBD. RCCC is a partner of ‘ASPIIR’, the recently founded Romanian Association of Patients with IBD and of ‘APPA’-the Association of patients with autoimmune diseases.
